Title:
  Blank display with Eoan Ermine live DVD on Ryzen 3 2200G

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Regression with Ryzen 3 2200G, UEFI Asrock B450 Pro4 motherboard and
  55-75 Hz monitor.

  Booting Xubuntu 19.10 live iso with safe graphics options did give a
  stable desktop display, but

  xubuntu@xubuntu:~$ xrandr
  xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
  Screen 0: minimum 1920 x 1080, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 1920 x 1080
  default connected 1920x1080+0+0 0mm x 0mm
 1920x1080 77.00* 
  xubuntu@xubuntu:~$ 

  The monitor is only supposed to have a maximum vertical refresh rate
  of 75 Hz. Xrandr reports 77 Hz as the only choice.  The monitor
  reports 60 Hz, not that I trust the monitor.

  Swapping monitors and running many reboots the situation seems to
  be...

  Old versions of Ubuntu (Bionic and Dingo) can handle the hardware.
  Standard boot sometimes gives a blank screen.  
  Standard boot sometimes gives a badly pixelated display 
  (Ctl-Alt-F6, Ctl-Alt-F7 temporarily improves it).  
  Connecting a 144 Hz monitor convinces something (the firmware?) 
  that fast refreshes are OK on a slow monitor, or at least it fails to 
  reread and abide by the slow monitor's limitations when swapping back.
  Something, I don't know what, convinces the computer to run the display 
  at 60 Hz, sometimes. 

  The motherboard has three video ports; DP, HDMI and VGA (using an onboard 
  DP? to VGA converter chip).  The fast monitor has DP, HDMI and VGA ports, 
  but I only experimented with the DP connection.  The slow monitor has VGA and 
  DVI-D ports.  I experimented with VGA to VGA and HDMI via a passive adapter 
  to DVI.  When running in the badly pixelated mode xorg seems to think that 
  the VGA port is "DP-1".

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1848900] Re: blank display with Eoan Ermine live DVD on Rysen 2200G

2019-10-19 Thread Tom Reynolds
I was supporting another Xubuntu 19.10 user on AMD Ryzen 3 2200G
(Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. B450 AORUS M/B450 AORUS M, BIOS F2
08/08/2018) today, whose log of a failed (standard) boot (to black
screen) showed

kernel: WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 255 at
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/dc/dcn10/dcn10_hw_sequencer.c:932
dcn10_verify_allow_pstate_change_high.cold+0xc/0x23d [amdgpu]
